Nathair1: Thanks. I even think hentai was strict on that one. Like there's only a handful of them. Yeah, I got a new keyboard and the buttons are both tiny and closer than normal when I wrote this, but my neighbor gave me one of their old ones and it's a bit better. Yeah, that seems to be a pastime of theirs and they seem to enjoy it regardless.

Anyway, enjoy the next chapter.

Iruma, Clara and Alice stood in the courtyard, three small cannons in front of them as they as prepared for the night. Clara smiled as she placed flowers, stuffed animals and bows on the canons. Alice looked at the green-haired demoness before pulling her away from the device and narrowed his eyes, "What do you think you're doing, Valac?"

"Azz,"

"What? I was making the cannons more pretty so the fireworks can go really far,"

Alice growled as he let Clara go and crossed his arms, "You idiot! It doesn't work like that! Once it gets dark, I will light the fuse, setting the fireworks off,"

Iruma narrowed his eyes as a small flame rested on Alice's fingertip and Clara held the fuse up to the flame, "Like this?"

"Yes, just lie that," Alice and Iruma stared with wide eyes as Clara cheerfully watched as the fuse got closer to the cannon before Iruma grabbed Clara and Alice and pulled him back.

Seeing the fuse vanish, the three ducked before they looked up to see the cannons had not gone off before they walked over to it and looked inside to see the cannons were empty. The three breathed a sigh of relief before Alice looked at Clara and snapped, "You were lucky the shell wasn't in there! You almost ruined everything an-"

"Azz!" Iruma snapped as he looked at his friend with a hardened expression crossing his face, "Clara was just being Clara. She didn't do anything...but the question is...where the hell is the shell?"

Alice took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, you're right, Master Iruma. We must worry about the missing shell, and where did it go? The only ones who knew about our project were the three of us and Kirio," The three turned and raced back into the school as Clara looked over at Iruma, a concern expression crossing her face.

The trio stood in the hall, looking around in confusion, "Did we even grab the shell?" Alice thought out loud, "Could we have been in such a rush that we forgot to grab it?"

"I know we loaded it into the cannon last night, Azz, there's no way we could forget it," Iruma sighed and shook his head before taking a few steps, 'Clara, if anything happens, you need to find someplace safe,'

'Forget about me, Iruma-kins. If Kirio is a bad demon and he finds out you're human, he can hurt you an-' before she could finish her thought, the ground beneath them shook, "What was that?" Clara ran towards Iruma, only to be stopped by an unseen force. Taking a deep breath, she walked over to Iruma, only to hit an invisible wall, "What?"

Iruma walked over to Clara and Alice before punching the invisible wall between them and narrowed his eyes, "Sir, what are we going to do?"

Iruma sighed as he shook his head and looked at his mate and gave a small smile, "Clara, those paper dolls that helped up make the fireworks...do you mind summoning some of them?"

Clara narrowed her eyes as she nodded, "Right," patting the pockets on her skirt, the two watched as several paper dolls fell from the pockets.

Iruma looked at Alice and shook his head, "Azz, use your magic to control the dolls, have to stick to the invisible walls and guide me to the Batter's room,"

"Uh...why?"

"I have a strong feeling that Kirio is there, now can you do that for me?" Alice hummed and nodded as he waved his hand over the dolls and they began floating before flying past him and Clara, "I'm going to start moving, I'll call you Azz and you'll lead me through the barriers," Alice nodded as he dug his phone out of his pocket and Iruma did the same before looking at the saddened Clara and he softly smiled, "Clara, I asked Azz to do it because it's his magic controlling the dolls,"

"I know, Iruma-kins...just...be careful?"

"You too," he looked at Alice and nodded towards Clara, "Keep her safe and you stay safe yourself,"

"Of course, sir," Alice smiled.

Iruma hummed as he turned his back towards them before looking back slightly, "And don't tell anyone that I was running in the halls,"

Alice's eyes widened before he chuckled and shook his head, "I'm sure this will be a understandable circumstance to break the rules just once," Iruma nodded as he began running and Alice dialed his number as Clara watched as Iruma began running further away.

Alice looked at Clara and sighed before shaking his head and looked towards the direction Iruma ran off in, "Master Iruma will be fine," Clara sighed and nodded as Alice held the phone to his ear, "He won't let anything happen to anyone,"

"I know, Azz-Azz," Clara frowned.

Naberius and Bars stood in the library as the green-haired demon looked up at the serious looking educator and tilted his head to the side, "So...why are we here?"

"You saw it for yourself, you twit," Naberius sighed as he opened a file, "The entire school is surrounded by an unseen barrier, that along with the Chair-Demon's absence...there is no way this is by chance, they must be connected somehow,"

"Okay, but why are we in the library? Shouldn't we be helping the other teachers?"

"They can handle the students just fine, we are looking for a possible suspect." Naberius sighed as he placed a file down and picked up another, "These are files on current students with their year and bloodline ability," staring at the picture of Kirio Ami in the file, Naberius hummed as he narrowed his eyes, "Newbie, let's go," Bars followed Naberius out of the library.

Iruma ran through the halls as Alice spoke to him over the phone, "Turn left on the stairwell coming up and keep to your right."

"Alright," Iruma turned at the stairwell and ran up the stairs as he narrowed his eyes, 'Clara, I can sense your heartrate increasing. Don't worry, nothing is going to happen up here,'

'But Iruma-kins, you're going up there alone and we don't know how dangerous Kirio might be,' Clara frowned, 'Please be careful,' Iruma hummed and nodded as he continued to race up the stairs.

Ameri looked around the courtyard in confusion as she muttered to herself, "What in the Netherworld is going on here? Everyone was ordered to come to the courtyard, but now what?" looking up, she saw several teachers talking before she walked over to them and spoke up, "Professor Momonoki," a young teacher with long, light blue hair, looked up in confusion, "Do you mind telling me what's going on? What was that quake a few minutes ago and why were the students ordered to the courtyard?"

The teacher in question sighed as she shook her head, "To be honest, none of us know what is going on, but Professor Kalego ordered all teachers to gather the students in the courtyard and try and keep them calm...I know this might be a bit much to ask, but do you think the student council can help too?"

"Of course," Ameri turned and faced the other members of the Student Council and narrowed her eyes, "Alright, you heard her! Move out and make sure the students are calm about the whole situation!"

"Yes ma'am!" the other members shouted in unison before running towards the students.

Ameri sighed as she looked up with a slight frown, "Iruma, what the hell is going on?" she turned and walked away in silence.

Naberius and Bars stood on the roof of the school before Naberius looked at the green-haired demon next to him and narrowed his eyes, "Alright newbie, just as we planned!" without hesitation, Bars drew back a string of a bow and released and the two watched as an arrow pierced the unseen barrier and shot past it before the barrier recovered. Naberius sighed as he shook his head, "I can't believe we're placing all hope on that oaf of a Chair-Demon," Bars took a deep breath and frowned as the bow in his hand faded before he nodded.

Kirio stood in front of the machine, laughing as it began charging the shell resting on the pillow before he heard the door open and he looked back and his eyes widened, "Iruma?" Iruma glared at him with narrowed eyes as his fists tightened as he stepped into the room.

Sorry for the delay on this chapter. October is not a good month for me for a good reason. Anyway, a few more chapters and this will be finished and I'll be working on the sequel. Enjoy.
